Abstract

Plagiarism is a well known problem of today's society. Widespread of the internet, ease of data exchange, Bologna reforms and individual circumstances influence on students to resort to plagiarism. Many courses in computer science where students have programming assignments suffer from so called source code plagiarism. Beside the internet, most common origins of solved assignments are fellow students from the same or the previous generation. In this paper the source code plagiarism is discussed. Main results from observing the plagiarism in programming assignments are given showing to which extent students plagiarize.
